The Danish quintet Men Among Animals release their sophomore album Run Ego. Most of the recordings were done by themselves in a wooden cabin during the summer of 2009. Afterwards, they joined forces with Quentin Stoltzfus -- founder of the critically-acclaimed band Mazarin -- and together they have now finished what Men Among Animals consider their masterpiece. After the release of their debut Bad Times, All Gone in autumn 2007, Men Among Animals toured from the most southern part of Europe to the most Northern. They've played Spain, Norway, England, Belgium, Holland, Switzerland, Germany, and Denmark. They also played several festivals including Reeperbahn in Germany, Roskilde Festival in Denmark, By:Larm in Norway and many more. They have received top reviews for their live performances. In summer 2009, the band played at Roskilde Festival where they again received excellent responses from the festival press. Men Among Animals is on a constant search for new paths in music and they will never stay in the same place for long. If Bad Times, All Gone was day, then Run Ego is night. Bounciness gives way to indie-pop balladry, still with plenty of kick and verve.
